Advising For Parents

Advisors provide students with information and guidance as it relates to
program/curriculum requirements, academic policies/procedures, and many other
academic issues and concerns.

Advisors will review transfer credits for applicability to programs of study,
assist with course selection, and refer students, when necessary, to support
services and any other relevant campus resources.

Ultimately, students are responsible for their education. Students should
make sure to register for their courses on time, familiarize themselves with
college policies and procedures, and take an active role in their education by
working with their advisor to develop an educational plan.

We refer to those plans as MAPs, (My Academic Pathway), formerly known as
EDPs.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prevents
Lansing Community College from releasing your student's information to anyone
without his or her written consent. You are welcome to join the student in the
initial meeting with an advisor to address individual questions and concerns.
For your student to develop independence and self-sufficiency, it is vital that
he or she take the initiative to meet with his or her advisor and campus
personnel individually throughout their journey at LCC.
